Recently, I attended a walk-in interview process where I successfully cleared the first two rounds and had a positive discussion during the HR round. During the HR conversation, the compensation package discussed was aligned with my expectations and seemed mutually agreed upon.
However, after waiting for about 23 days, when the offer letter was finally released, the compensation mentioned in the offer was significantly lower than what had been discussed earlier. When I reached out for clarification, the details were presented differently from the initial conversation.
I believe transparency and consistency during the hiring process are extremely important, as candidates often make critical career decisions based on the information shared during interviews. Clear communication helps build trust and creates a positive experience for both the organization and the candidates.
Sharing this as feedback with the hope that hiring processes continue to improve with more clarity and alignment in future interactions.
